Against the authoritarian control of the mainstream media and “Big Tech” over what we can think, say, and do.

And that’s why we need more Muslim men in media and journalism.

Why Muslims?

Because telling lies, even white lies, is a major sin in our religion.

I don’t know of any other community who has a commitment to honesty and integrity like we do.

Do some Muslims lie? Of course they do.

But as a group, Muslims are the most trustworthy people on the face of this Earth.

A Muslim journalist will take his journalistic ethics deathly seriously.

I mean, the tenets of fact-checking, of refraining from slander or libel, of upholding truth and justice…

They’re all in the Quran.

O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.

Quran 49:6

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Quran 49:11

O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.

Quran 49:12

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.

Quran 4:135

Why Muslim Men?

Because Men are far less likely to be corrupted by the degeneracy of the society around them since, as a group, they possess lower Openness and Agreeableness (2 of the Big 5 personality traits) than women do.

Just look at who in our community has succumbed to the “progressive virus”:

Who are the loudest Muslim voices promoting feminism, homosexuality, licentiousness, abortion, the degradation of the traditional family and of gender roles, and other degenerate, anti-social ideas?

It’s our women. Prove me wrong.

Why Journalism?

Because politics is downstream from culture, and the media we consume today will be the reality in our society a decade from now.

24 normalized the idea of a Black American president. Will and Grace normalized the idea of open homosexuality.

It’s enough now.

Are we going to stand around and watch the world burn?

Or are we going to save people from a life of worshiping themselves and their hedonism?

And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you…

Quran 2:143

You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah . If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.

Quran 3:110
